I sit beside the dark 
Beneath the mire 
Cold gray dusty day 
The morning lake 
Drinks up the sky 

Katmandu I'll soon be seeing you 
And your strange bewildering time 
Will hold me down 

Pass me my hat and coat 
Lock up the cabin 
Slow night treat me right 
Until I go 
Be nice to know 

Katmandu I'll soon be touching you 
And your strange bewildering time 
Will hold me down 

La la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la

Chop me some broken wood 
We'll start a fire 
White warm light the dawn 
And help me see 
Old Satan's tree 

Katmandu I'll soon be touching you 
And your strange bewildering time 
Will keep me home
